MLP Mixers in Lung Image Segmentation

The AI in Health and Nutrition lab conducted performance tests on a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for lung fibrosis, employing multi-layer-perceptron-mixers (MLP-mixers) for segmenting lung and airway anatomy. Additionally, the system identifies idiopathic lung disease patterns in a second step. Currently, MLP-mixers segmentation demonstrates performance comparable to nnU-Net on chest CT images.

Monitoring nutrition with a single image

In a refinement of its earlier system for automated nutrient assessment via smartphone, the AI in Health and Nutrition laboratory in collaboration with the School of Health Professions, Bern University of Applied Sciences, has developed an easy-to-use single-image-input pipeline to output nutrient composition within the goFOOD(TM) application. In a retrospective real-world study, the new system reduced user burden and showed promising results.
